37 Things About Me

Y’all, today is my birthday and my epically smart squirrels in the audience likely will have deduced that I’m 37 today.

This means I’m way closer to 40 than I am to 30 and a lot has changed in the last 7 years. At thirty, I had two boys and would be pregnant with the third by December of that year. Now I have a ten year old, an eight year old and a soon to be 6 year old. I’ve moved out of the high needs, high demand baby and toddler years and am stepping foot towards the preteen/kid era.

I’m finding my groove.

In honour of today’s momentous occasion, I present: 37 Things About Me

I’m the oldest of three kids. I have a younger brother and a younger sister (hey sibs!)

I have two German Shepherd dogs. They are from the same litter and now that they’re getting older, I worry how one will handle the other’s passing.

I have anxiety and seasonal affective disorder. For a while there I was medicated. Now I’m able to manage the ebb of things without. I think hockey has helped because it forces me out of the house all winter and gives me something to focus on.

In college and university, I would have anxiety attacks. I’ve learned how to head them off but the feeling of one coming on isn’t a great time.

My favourite movie is Pitch Perfect (well, all three of them…love them all)

I prefer red wine over white but will drink whatever is offered.

Every year I bake almost 2000 cookies to give to friends, family and coworkers for Christmas

Every year, I say it’s the last year I’ll bake 2000 cookies for Christmas

I was born with a dislocated hip that went undiagnosed for three months

As a kid I took figure skating lessons. I wasn’t very good.

HockeyDad and I met when I was 20. We married the year I turned 25.

I only have nieces. No nephews.

If I go into a bookstore, I will leave with a book and there will be no negotiation about it.

Friends, The Big Bang Theory and Gilmore Girls will always be my go-to for TV shows

I ran a half marathon once and it rained the whole time.

I’ve finished a Spartan Sprint. It took me over 2 hours and there were a lot of burpees. But the boys still talk about how mommy jumped over fire.

Greek mythology is my favorite mythology. It was one of my electives in university.

We didn’t have a computer at the farm until I was 16. My dad still doesn’t know how to turn one on.

My first concert was The Beach Boys. Concert tickets are always worth the money to me.

Best concert I ever saw was Garth Brooks. Followed closely by George Strait.

I’ve never seen the Star Wars movies. I watched ….one of them, I don’t remember which one and I didn’t get most of the jokes.

HockeyDad and I are landlords

Beauty & the Beast is my most favorite of Disney movies. Not for the love story, but for the library.

Every room in my house has at least one book in it. With the exception of the bathrooms, every room has a bookshelf with multiple books on it, actually. Books are my love language.

I prefer book series to standalones. I get too attached to the characters to let them go after one book.

Sweet>salty, every time.

History was always my favorite subject in school.

Math was the only subject I ever failed. Last year of highschool, Finite Math, I got a 46% and I didn’t take another math class until I was forced to in college.

Breakfast food is my most favorite food.

I’ve only slept past 11 in the morning once. I had sprained my ankle and was medicating with Tylenol 3. My dad came in to check if I was still alive.

I’ve had surgery three times. The first when I was 18 weeks pregnant with Boy #2 to remove my appendix. It’s not fun and I don’t recommend it.

Heights and I don’t get along. At all.

I don’t actually drink a lot of coffee. I use the term for any hot caffeinated beverage. So nine times out of ten, when I say “don’t spill my coffee” to the boys, it’s actually tea.

I have one tattoo that I got when I was 35 and there is at least one more in my future.

There might be a slight obsession with music in my makeup. Of the 800+ songs on my phone, I know the words to almost all of them but this doesn’t mean I sing well.

HockeyDad and I print tshirts as a side business. It will never replace one of our incomes, but it’s fun and pays for hockey. That’s enough.

It took us two years to find our house so I will not be moving from it without a fight.
